Brit women banned from wearing mini-skirts to work

London: Women in Britain`s offices have been banned from wearing mini-skirts to work, and people involved in "customer-facing roles" have been told to look more professional "in a way that shows respect to children and families".

Around 400 staff in Southampton City Council`s children`s services department received a memo telling them they should dress respectfully and "carefully consider their work attire", the Daily Mail reported.

Council bosses said in the memo that women wearing mini-skirts could be sent home, while men have been advised to wear "collared or polo shirts, cotton trousers such as khakis or chinos with a belt".
